Meet Gigi Bowman, Ron Paul-inspired candidate for New York state Senate.

Over at National Review, Jim Geraghty takes to task those 1.22 million of us who voted for Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson.

On Monday, I noted six federal races in which the Libertarian Party candidate on Nov. 6 received considerably more votes than the margin of victory of a winning Democrat over a losing Republican.

L.P. nominee Gary Johnson fights to reach single digits.

On Friday, Garrett Quinn pointed out two congressional races in which a Libertarian Party candidate received considerably more votes than the margin separating a winning Democrat from a losing Republican: Massachusetts' 6th District (48.3%-47.3%-4.5%** for Rep. John Tierney over Richard Tisei and Daniel Fishman), and Utah's 4th District (49.3%-48.1%-2.6%** for Rep. Jim Matheson over Mia Love and Jim Vein).

Even a Ron Paul-endorsed Republican Senate candidate couldn't win the hearts of Libertarian Party voters in Montana. Danny Rehberg lost in a squeaker (not called til this morning) against incumbent Democrat Jon Tester, while Libertarian Dan Cox got 5 percent.

If you scripted Gary Johnson's character in a movie, critics would roll their eyes and advise you to tone it down.

Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson's final campaign ad implores voters to "cast a protest vote that counts."
